I also have a connection to this Rogers family the exact same way. My GUncle William Hubbard Love married Laura Viola Bagwell. She is Becknell's GGranddaughter through Mary Jane's marriage to John Rogers. Laura's mother was their daughter. I have just starting putting all of this together and have been in contact with a few Becknell researchers. It is really on for my personal information since there is no blood relation it is all through marriage. I will put together the line when I get home tonight and see if there is a connection another way between us.

Ok, here is the way I am connected to Capt Becknell. Here is my line back to the Love family. Drew Slate Jack Slate - Father Lois Wallace - GrandMother Nora Love - GGrandmother Samuel Walker Love - GGGrandfather Now, Samuel Walker Love's oldest child was William Hubbard Love. He married Laura Viola Bagwell. Laura Viola Bagwell's parents were Nathaniel Bagwell and Sarah Elizabeth Rogers. Sarah Elizabeth Rogers was the daughter of John Kirty Rogers and Mary Jane Becknell. Mary Jane Becknell was the daughter of William Becknell and Mary Cribbs. This makes William Becknell of no blood relation to me and really no marriage connection, but fun to research. Another interesting point of this family. Laura Viola Bagwell's father, Nathaniel Bagwell, was the son of Miles Bagwell, the man the town of Bagwell is named after. I also have no blood relation to the Bagwell family and a distant marriage connection. It is quite interesting to me how the Love/Bagwell/Becknell family is connected. All three families were important to their communities. We know of the Becknell legacy, the Bagwell were instrumental in starting the town of Bagwell, and some might not know but Samuel Walker Love owned a general store and sawmill in Bagwell and was one of the founders and the first president of the First National Bank of Bagwell. I am sure that the marriage of these families was no mistake as I am sure all were pretty well off in their time. I sure wish the Love family land had been passed down through the generations. I saw a farm in Parker County last weekend that had been in the family since 1858 and is still called by the same name. Hope this isn't to confusing...
